November 2, 2015

As we think about who we’re electing to office let’s think of the new policies required  to prevent the next tragedy: whether it’s protecting American lives here and abroad or providing for the Public welfare. We need the courage of vision. Not rhetoric. Talk is cheap.   Let’s be serious about our needs .    … More The Voice of Joyce: Periscope @11am Let’s talk Politics, debates, Democracy and social media!

The voice of Joyce: United we stand

November 2, 2015

I’ve been thinking about the power of magical thinking, dear reader.  This has happened to me, what about you?   We are so sure of the  rightness or our opinions, our ” take ” on a situation, we merely state our case and then wonder why didn’t everyone agree with ” my” , ” our”, … More The voice of Joyce: United we stand

The Voice of Joyce: “Quiet as a Mouse”

November 1, 2015

Quiet as a Mouse! “Over time”, the working class adapted to their station in life. Like the rodent, they evolved to squeeze into the tightest places allotted them; as ‘quiet as a mouse’ , as the expression goes. Thus Middle Class is squeezed out of society:  not taking up much room, not asking too many … More The Voice of Joyce: “Quiet as a Mouse”

The voice of Joyce: Periscope 11AM: Have you read the news? Thoughts for today.

October 30, 2015

We have a dysfunctional society with many vested interests.   For the middle class to be resurrected, ” we the people”  need a simple platform and simple programs that we recommend. I believe it’s all about the economy. It’s always about “the  money”!  Folks talk about  Congress and  government being  too large. Get rid of … More The voice of Joyce: Periscope 11AM: Have you read the news? Thoughts for today.

The voice of Joyce: Want Solutions? 

October 29, 2015

My Periscope Community wants solutions. In spite of Congressional dysfunction, the solutions exist. It’s the Economy, stupid! It’s always the Economy. If you have Student Loans, watch out,  if you take extended payouts. Loan forgiveness, like credit card forgiveness or cashing in whole life insurance , is taxable as income. Home ownership is at an … More The voice of Joyce: Want Solutions?

The Voice of Joyce: The Mundane 

October 27, 2015

Ed , my son, kept remarking as we drove through Albany,  ” why am I so interested in the Mundane, fascinated by the small towns and shops that define our daily lives?

The voice of Joyce: Poor Monetary Policy! 

October 23, 2015

It’s so easy to rationalize bad decisions. First we abolished Glass STEAGALL. Why? We allowed Bankers to break the law repeatedly , in effect, gutting the law. We could have said no to the law breakers, but they were Bankers and Bankers, unlike the poor “pot dealer”, gets a pass! Then we allowed credit default … More The voice of Joyce: Poor Monetary Policy!
